No I came up with it my self, I don't listen to radio talk shows, they are too heavily biased I prefer to watch both left and right leaning news.

If you watch both, why do you only pay attention to one?

but after the amazing speeches of the democratic convention mr romney and mr ryan are flat and boring. its like they are on the jr high debate team.


The debates would be funny though, except maybe Biden v.s. Ryan.

im very much looking forward to all of them. biden vs ryan should open some eyes about just how competent joe biden is.

after all, rumor is that biden is hoping to run in '16. he has to show that he not the buffoon that people mistake him for. (i think he has no more chance in '16 than he had in '08.)

Slightly unrelated, but I noticed something on that page. It looks like TV tropes has been taken over by Ron Paul supporters:

he meant capitalism as its practiced in America today, which honestly has little to do with traditional Adam Smith capitalism and would be better be defined as corporate statism.

Mitt was on "Meet The Press" this morning ... where he said he'd keep some parts of health care reform, but with his brand on it, and that yeah, in some ways Obama has made the country safer, and maybe Republicans were also responsible for agreeing to all those budget cuts looming on the horizon ...

It was nice of him to acknowledge his wife, too: “People got to see Ann and hear our story,” Mr. Romney said, referring to this wife. “And the result of that is I’m better known, for better or for worse.”

This was cute, too: Reminded that he had once called himself a “severe” conservative, Mr. Romney seemed to play down that description. “I am as conservative as the Constitution,” he said.

In their beliefs, Paul. Overall as a person in their integrity, Romney. He'll lie through his teeth and say anything to be President. He changes his position whenever it suits him, while at least Paul is pretty consistent. He also stands by his statements, and doesn't give a shit about the backlash of his statements. So I give him props for that. Doesn't mean his beliefs aren't crap.
"The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people. You understand what I'm saying? We knew we couldn't make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders. raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did."—former Nixon domestic policy chief John Ehrlichman
